Abstract: Selection of alignment for a canal is critical in terms of cost and execution time. Several alignments may be possible between the source and destination of a canal, but command area and cost of work is more important. Canal works costs include the cost of earthwork both for embankment and cuttings. This paper presents the study of Flood Flow Canal from Pillaipally Anicut to the Minor Irrigation Tanks of Bhudan Pochampally, Chotuppal, Ramannapet and Chityal Mandals in Nalgonda District. With the use of Toposheets and Satellite Image (CartoDEM), various thematic layers such as watershed, streams, contours are prepared. ArcGIS 10.2 desktop software and Google Maps API is used for data preparation, analysis and planning for canal alignment of feeder canal to Wankamamidi Tank.
